Fans have been eagerly anticipating the return of Adult Swim's "Rick and Morty" Season 3 as the iconic cartoon duo embark on new adventures outside the Galactic Federation Prison. But despite the early optimistic ballparks that the latest installment of the show would air by December 2016, it looks like "Rick and Morty" Season 3 would not be able to make the cut before the year ends.
However, recent reports speculated that "Rick and Morty" Season 3 could still surprise its fans, so here's to holding out for a 2016 release date! Meanwhile, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming third season of "Rick and Morty" Season 3: spoilers, plot details, release dates and more.
What to expect in 'Rick and Morty' Season 3
"Rick and Morty" Season 3 is expected to pick up from the events of last season, where everyone's favorite mad scientist Rick Sanchez gave himself up to be arrested by the Intergalactic Federation Prison. It may be recalled that just before this surprising turn of events, Rick had begun to feel emotionally connected to his family before deciding that giving himself up would be in their best interests.
Still, fans of Rick Sanchez need not worry about him languishing in prison for too long, because showrunners Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon had previously promised viewers that they won't spend the entirety of "Rick and Morty" Season 3 trying to bust him out of prison. Instead, reports speculated that the family would be headed toward a Hawaii-filled adventure as per request by Dan Harmon himself.
Vin Diesel in 'Rick and Morty' Season 3
Another thing fans should definitely look forward to in "Rick and Morty" Season 3 is guest star Vin Diesel, who would be making an appearance in the show. It's hinted that Vin Diesel might be voicing the prison guard that stands guard to the Intergalactic Federation Prison.
